What I like in FFs is not really the story, it's the end game content and the super boss, in FF10 I spent so much hours in the plains in the summoning arena :D The end game content of FF7 is pretty good too. | ||

I really hated in 13 where I couldn't keep the guys I liked and was forced for the first 30 hours of the game into fit teams. I understand teaching me the game but I really hated a couple of the characters and had to grind a lot until I understood how to play them and even then I wasn't having fun. Anyway I hear that 6 and 9 are good which one should I get first? FF9 is actually my number one favorite. The whole story and setting is just amazing. FF6 is also excellent, but i would pick 9 any day. | ||

 The music is midi. You should download the PSX rom if you really want to play on your PC... it is legal since you already own the game, but tbh i would just get a PSX copy or PS1 controller adaptre (they are like £5 or something, a good buy if you play emulated games) | ||

I like it but the only Gamepad I have is like...serial port (LOL) and it has major compatibility issues with later versions of Windows (although there are probably fixes and patches out there -- results may vary) Oh, the PC version also has some bug fixes. I got fucked over by a bug on my first run. Basically, when you have to find the Lunar Harp in Bone Village, you can go to Wutai instead and finish whatever there's to do there with Yuffie. If you then go to Bone Village to dig, the Lunar Harp isn't possible to get, and you have to start the game all over again unless you have an older save to go back to, something I didn't. God, what a nightmare that was. Running around, digging hours and hours, all to no avail, then having to restart on top of that. | ||

FFVII and Tactics are still some of, if not my absolute, most favorite games of all time. I play through Tactics at least once a year, usually summers, and FFVII every couple. | ||

there are several graphics mods that do stuff like change the skins of clouds swords (didnt work for me), and replace most of the character models with ones that look like theyre from advent children (was awesome but screwed up some animations a little and broke immersion sometimes, which wasnt overall worth it if you're emotionally attached to the perfection). | ||

Anyway I hear that 6 and 9 are good which one should I get first? 6 is almost as good as 7. it has a very strong mood/atmosphere, probably the most depressing game ever made haha. you'll need a walkthru for some bits probably (actually you might miss some good bits without one iirc)? 9 didnt really capture my interest in any form dont powerlevel at the end of 6 before going to complete it, had a bad impact on the ending for me (like a guy mentioned earlier in the thread). the whole "lets rush to save the world!" thing gets dampened if you fuck around in a forest or climbing up a tower for 10 hours haha | ||

Anyway I hear that 6 and 9 are good which one should I get first? 12 was good, but it was good in a different way. Almost all the games preceding it had a central storyline, a love line, and a mysterious past to all the characters. All the games basically required the world to be saved by some malevolent force. Wow, I was originally going to write all that to show the ways that 12 deviated, but it actually had a lot of those elements! Still, I never saw the game centering on a few characters or their agenda, but on the NPC's. In a way, each town was their own personality and the major events in the story affected EVERYONE, even the NPC's with a few programmed lines. No love story and characters more focused on their mission than each other. At least that was my take - it's probably a lot different from others, but I digress. I loved the battle system, too. That and "programming" magic made a lot of the generic farming a lot less time consuming. Anyway, between 6 or 9 I'd personally go with 6, but both are definitely worth your time, so as long as you play both either is ok. | ||

Agreed. 9's music, characters, and world are just awesome. It's probably the most quirky of all of the games, but it is really great. There are so many places/scenes in 9 that I look back on and I want to go back and visit them just because they were so interesting. Definitely my favorite. Also, Final Fantasy Tactics is a really fun game that is often overlooked due to its production value which is quite... lacking. But it's got a decent story and some really cool gameplay. It's probably #2 for me. After that... my favorites probably progress in the order of 10=8 > 6 > 7. Final Fantasy 7 just didn't enthrall me like it does most people, I guess... But yeah, all of the Final Fantasy games from 6 to 10 are simply fantastic overall, in my opinion. | ||

Either this was fixed in the PAL version or you just did something wrong. On my 100% playthrough 2 years ago for my LP, i did it in this order and was able to dig up the harp without problems. Maybe you forgot to enter the woods' 2 screens before you try to digging it up which iirc is a requirement for it to spawn. Proof (relevant parts ... in German ofc): + Show Spoiler + | ||

There were bugs in other Final Fantasy games that were fixed up in the PAL release (ie. FFX, you could re-do the entire Home saga if you wanted to but not in PAL). | ||

You can download an emulator and roms to play 6 through 9. Personally I'd start with 6 or 7 since they're regarded as the best of the series, but any of those titles are fantastic and all of them are definitely worth playing! Ooh, do you have a site where I could get started from? I really don't know about emulators at all... | ||

It's very possible also. Aqualung can get you through pretty much the first 2 discs, goblin punch can be used instead of normal attack. White wind does healing and Big Guard is haste and protection. Magic breath and shadow flare take late game duty. It's quite cool to do. It's a completely different game that way. Even used completely different main chars, RedXIII and Caith Sith instead of Barret and Cid. | ||
